Hi,
  If you're working with a PDB structure that has symmetry
records, this VMD script can reconstruct the full multimer:
  http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/script_library/scripts/mono2poly/

Your matrix attempt below was almost right:
  set M { 1 0 0 0} {0 1 0 0} {0 0 1 0}
  set sel [atomselect top "all"]
  $sel move $M
  $sel writepdb AQP-x.pdb

Cheers,
  John Stone
